Chapter 329 Selling Pine Nuts

Following her memory, she found a dried fruit shop in the county. Baiyunxi asked her second child to take care of the ox cart, and she took Mrs. Li and walked in with a small bag of pine nuts that she had prepared in advance.

Dried fruit shops are no different than others, and the business is booming as the New Year approaches.

Anyone with ample money will more or less buy some snacks to entertain their guests.

Moreover, most of the customers who shuttle in the store are cleanly dressed and have no patches on their bodies.

Bai Yunxi took Mrs. Li around the shop and checked the types of dried fruits on the left and right shelves. On one side were dried fruits such as melon seeds and walnuts, and on the other side were various candied fruits.

After looking around, Baiyunxi didn't find any trace of pine nuts. She was very puzzled. If the dried fruit shop didn't sell pine nuts, would the pine nuts she brought be sold?
Just when she was about to ask the shopkeeper about the situation, Xiao Er, who had finished her work, came over.

"Ma'am, may I ask if you need anything, I can guide you a little."

Looking at the smiling Xiao Er, Bai Yunxi chuckled, "So I really want to ask my brother, why didn't I see pine nuts for sale in the store?"

Hearing Baiyunxi's inquiry, Xiao Er was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously looking at Baiyunxi's clothes,

"Ma'am, I don't know. We have pine nuts in our store, and they are all placed on the counter. Come with me."

While leading Baiyunxi past, Xiaoer did not hide it,
"Pine nuts are different from melon seeds and peanuts. Customers can try a few when they enter the store. Pine nuts are too expensive, and they are generally not allowed to taste them."

Listening to Xiao Er's explanation, Bai Yunxi thought for a while, but it was understandable.

Pine nuts are expensive and costly, and they really can't resist the taste of you coming and going.

Xiao Er took out a leather bag from the counter and opened it, "Ma'am, take a look, are you satisfied?"

Bai Yunxi looked at the pine nuts in the cowhide bag. They were brown-red in color, slightly cracked, with some blackened ones mixed in, and the quality was not good.

"How much is a catty of such pine nuts?"

"One hundred yuan per catty." Xiaoer looked at Baiyunxi, stretched out his hand to copy a handful, and it sounded crisp.

"This year's pine nut production is low, and our shop has not received much. The price is generally a few dollars higher than in previous years. Even so, among the few dried fruit shops in the county, ours has the best quality."

Listening to Xiao Er's remarks, Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly,
"It's almost the Chinese New Year. Do you still collect pine nuts in this store? My aunt has some stock in her hand, so I went to the city to inquire about the price today."

Hearing Bai Yunxi's words, Xiao Er gave her a surprised look,
"Do you have pine nuts in your hand?"

"That's right, so can I talk to your shopkeeper?" Bai Yunxi looked at him, he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and he looked quite pleasing.

"Ma'am later."

Xiaoer came back to his senses without delay, put the pine nuts on the counter, and went to the backyard through the curtain.After a while, a middle-aged man with a goatee walked out, wiping his hands as he walked.

"The shopkeeper, this lady wants to sell pine nuts."

The middle-aged man looked at Baiyunxi, and smiled kindly, "How many pine nuts are there in sister-in-law's hands, can I let you take a look?"

"Of course you can,"

Saying that, Bai Yunxi asked Mrs. Li to put the prepared cloth bag on the counter,
"The quality of the pine nuts in my family is good. They are all picked one by one to ensure that there are no bad seeds."

Hearing Baiyunxi's boast, the shopkeeper also denied it, and looked down at the pine nuts they brought. It was indeed as she said, the seeds were full and the color was correct.
